i'm laila harrak. out on strike or auto workers in the u.s. still don't have a deal with automakers in the first strike against all of the big three. the death toll from floods in libya will likely keep rising as the search goes on. we'll talk to a storm health official about how recovery efforts are going. increased police presence as protests break out across iran to mark the anniversary of the death of mahsa amini in police custody. no breakthrough, but reasonably productive discussions, at least with ford. that's how the united auto workers are describing labor talks on day two of the union's strike against three top u.s. automakers. striking union workers picketed outside the ford assembly plant in wayne, michigan. ford has responded to the

walkout by temporarily laying off some 600 nonstriking workers at that plant, saying the strike is causing a lack of parts. gm is threatening to lay off 2,000 more. the union and ford, general motors, and stellantis are far apart on wages and benefits. the union is essentially demanding double the wage increases the automakers are offering along with other enhancements. hundreds of striking uaw members out on picket lines saturday said they are prepared to wait to get an agreement that suits them. cnn's gabe cohen reports. >> reporter: saturday we saw the first small signs of any progress in these negotiations between the union and really any of the three big automakers. this after ford met with union officials. a source with the union telling cnn, "we had reasonably productive conversations with ford today."

reasonably productive, certainly no deal, but a big step in the right direction after days of hostile back and forth between the sides. ford saying in a statement that they are committed to reaching an agreement with uaw that rewards our workers and allows ford to invest in the future. but we're also starting to see the ripple effect from the strike with ford and general motors announcing that the companies will lay off an additional at least 2,600 workers at two other facilities in the days ahead because those factories can't operate as long as these three are on strike. but still, so many of the workers we have spoken with who are out here on the picket line making $500 a week in strike pay tell me they're ready to stay here for as long as it takes. >> their $20 proposal is ridiculous. six years, and i have not had a raise in almost two years now. i tap out at $19.28.

i've been taking $19.28 for two years, trying to raise a family, with inflation. it's hard. >> it makes me hopeful that they're getting the message that we're on strike, and we're ready for this. we've been preparing. you know, bring a good offer to the table. >> why did you want your daughter to be here today? >> i brought her out to get her involved, just so she knows what's going on with dad at work. >> reporter: sean fame, head of the auto workers union, said more of these factories could go on strike in the coming days depending on how negotiations play out. harley shikin is a professor at university of california at berkeley, an expert on labor and the global economy, joining me from switzerland. so good to have you with us. what are the ways the united auto workers' historic strike could impact the u.s. economy?

>> it could impact in many ways. and it is truly a historic strike. first, the auto industry is about 3% of the gdp of the entire economy. that doesn't sound like much, but it affects so many other industries. and in the key states such as michigan, it's about 7% of the economy. if the strike lasts a long time, we could see some serious economic slowdowns in key sectors. >> would you go as far as to say that it could push the country into a recession? >> probably not. it would be more minimal on a national level. but the last time there was a strike, uaw strike against general motors, in 2019, it pushed the state of michigan into a recession for a quarter.

and that's not incidental from where we sit right now. michigan is a critical battleground state. so michigan in a recession could be damaging to president biden. >> from a consumer point of view, will cars now get more expensive? >> not necessarily. one of the things that's been remarkable about the auto industry is the strong productivity increases over the years. what's going to make the industry competitive is productivity, quality, and innovation. the wages that are likely to be agreed to will fit into that, not raise prices on cars. >> professor, i want to pick up on innovation, a key word you've used. is this just about workers wanting a salary boost? what role does the move -- what do technologies play in all of

this? >> we're in a transition point on technology. the move to electric vehicles is the biggest change the industry is seeing since the introduction of the moving assembly line over 100 years ago. there are estimates, including from top auto industry executives, that for a given number of vehicles it will require 30 to 40% fewer workers. this is terrifying to workers in the detroit-based companies, and it should be. they want to be beneficiaries of the change to electrificelectri not victims. that's why this set of negotiations is historic, not simply for the fact that all three companies are on strike at once and they're partial strikes to date, but also because it is defining the future for electrification and workers in the united states and who will benefit and who will lose.

>> final thought. globally, what are you seeing in terms of the disruption caused by this shift to electric vehicles? >> i think this is a disruption that can absolutely be managed, but it has to be managed. and one of the benefits that may come out of the strike and the negotiations in detroit is a way to ensure that auto workers feel they will be recipient of the gains here. that will result in innovation on the shop floor, in a better product, and a smoother transition that benefits the entire economy and all of us. >> u.s. berkeley professor harley shakin, sir, thank you for joining us, thank you for this conversation. to libya where more than 11,000 people in the city of derna have been killed by nod waters that ravaged the region

last week according to a u.n. report which warns the death toll will likely rise as emergency crews continue to search for the missing. farm workers have pulled dozens of bodies from the sea along the derna coast, but rescue missions say most of the victims who were swept away are still in the water. soon the task of retrieving the bodies could become impossible without additional resources. larry, this is a massive tragedy that is still unfolding. >> reporter: that's right, laila. we just don't know how many people actually died in this catastrophic flooding as all the emergency rescue teams, the aid agencies, the two governments still say that the number of people that we know have died could likely be much higher. a lot of the people that were killed in this flooding, probably those bodies are still in the water. as you've been saying, the task of retrieving the bodies will

become almost impossible. the bodies are quickly decomposing. even the death toll is still unknown at this point. part of the problem here is libya's fractured government. there is the internationally recognized government in the capital, tripoli, and the eastern parliament-backed one which covers this region of derna. that is making coordination impossible. there's lots of different countries that sent in teams to bring aid to try and help in the search and rescue, to try and help in retrieving bodies for those killed. this is just making it almost impossible to get the full extent of how many people were killed, how many wounds. the u.n. says at least 10,100 are missing in derna alone. the number could be much higher. libyans are coming together to try to help, such as donating blood. also decrying the divided nation they live in.

>> translator: we feel sorry for those who lost their lives, and we ask god almighty that he take pity on the others. unfortunately, we hate to admit that this catastrophe has highlighted the fact that we do not have a state capable of dealing with a crisis of this scale. >> reporter: that's absolutely right, it highlighted the differences in the administration of the country, but also the early warning systems that didn't quite work effectively. the crumbling infrastructure. all of that has led to this tragedy, which continues to be a tragedy in the response, laila. when so many people need so much help and so little of it is coming so far. >> larry maduro reporting, thank you so much. doctor, thank you so manufacture for your time, thank you for joining us at this difficult

moment for the people of libya. the u.n. now reports that at least 11,300 people were killed in these terrible floods, another at least 10,100 remain missing. how are libya's rival governments impacting recovery efforts of this scale? >> i think the good news of the libyan people have actually come together, and a lot of people from east, south, and west have actually driven all the way to derna carrying personal belongings and things to support the people of derna. but i agree totally the political division doesn't help. not just from the rescue effort, but even from the maintenance. dams, we had two dams in derna. this unified government, maybe those dams would have been renovated and looked after to prevent this calamity.

>> it is a calamity. and the images that we've been seeing have been truly shocking. words really fail us. what are the chances now of finding survivors weeks since this terrible event? >> i think the chance would be very, very minimal. unless if you are still alive under rubble on the ground, it's unlikely we will find any significant number of alive people in derna today. >> how long do you think, doctor, it will take to find all missing persons? >> probably never. i think we may never be able to recover all the missing people. for obvious reasons, because the bodies were actually washed off to the sea. and as you can expect, it would be extremely difficult to see any more bodies surfacing to the seaside for -- presumably for

de decomposed bodies. some will float, some will sink and be taken away or eaten away by the fish. >> eyewitnesses have described the city smells of decomposing bodies. are there plans to evacuate survivors? could this humanitarian crisis be further compounded by a massive health crisis? >> evacuees and survivors in the affected area, it should be done because the problem could happen again. however, there are areas which is in the higher side of the mountain in derna where the families or the residents of that part of derna will be reluctant to evacuate. particularly if the routes to derna have been restored, which have not been restored till now. the six dams between either east and west of derna are badly damaged, so even transportation between both sides of the city

are very difficult. however, we hear that there were some temporary solutions now to link both sides of the city, but that will not sustain with the next attack, damage the main road that was made to link both east and west derna. so it will not be surprising to see a lot of people leaving derna on their own accord. and if the situation gets any worse, the health situation or the environment becomes worse, it's highly likely that the government would take a decision to evacuate the remaining people in derna. >> doctor, what are the biggest challenges in the days and hours ahead? >> well, the biggest challenge really is trying to identify the dead bodies. especially there have been some mass graves without -- apparently without taking dna samples. that would be a major challenge, number one.

the other challenge would be trying to support the idps. nearly 40,000 idps, internally displaced people, in libya in and around derna who will need to have their life back. that is the second challenge. the third challenge would be trying to think of how -- what would happen if we have another storm coming to dern aa. and of course the issue of recovery of the city and renovating or rebuilding the city will be another major challenge ahead and many years from now. >> doctor, our thoughts are with people of libya. thank you so much for joining us, dr. el oakley, thank you. >> thank you, laila. right now we head to tropical cyclone lee, which has made a second lan fall in canada

in new brunswick with maximum sustained winds of 60 miles or 95 kilometers per hour. lee's initial landfall was saturday afternoon in southwest nova scotia with winds just under hurricane strength. the storm surge caused coastal flooding, downed trees, and knocked out power. crews are making headway in restoring electricity at last check. some 170,000 customers from maine through the canadian maritimes were still in the dark. the leader of north korea sits down with russia's defense minister to discuss military cooperation between the two countries. gritty video from the front lines as ukrainians slowly advance under russian fire. we'll explain why ukraine is calling this battle especially important.mate36 bed in the world that actively cools, warms and effortlessly responds to both of you

as far as we know, kim jong-un is still in russia where he's toured the latest in

russian weaponry and its pacific fleet. according to north korean state media, kim held discusses on saturday with russia's defense minister. those talks were said to be focused on further cooperation between their two militaries on issues of national security and defense. no arms deals have been announced during kim's visit, but ukraine and its allies are closely watching for any potential signs of north korea aiding moscow's war effort. the russian military claims it intercepted five ukrainian drone attacks early sunday over no casualties or damage were reported, but aiort operations around mosw were disrupted. meanwhile, russia's defense minister reportedlis disputing thatainian forces have retaken the village of andreev near bakhmut. it's been the scene of fierce

fighting along the front lines . >> for the civilians who once lived in the town, there's nothing to return to but ukraine says the territory is strategically important and retaking it has been a key objective of the ongoing counteroffensive. clare sebastian is closely following these developments. what is the strategy behind these drone attacks which have become a feature of this war? >> reporter: a feature of this core offensive. that is crucial to understanding this, now that we see them happening with such regularity. the counteroffensive not just on the front lines, as you showed just there, but what some are calling ukraine's deep battle.

these attacks far behind enemy lines. just this morning, case in point, five drones, russia says, were intercepted, some over crimea, which has become an increasing focus certainly in the last week or so, just in the last week ukraine claims to have damaged several ships in the port of sebastopol, claims to have knocked out a sophisticated air defense in the east of the peninsula as well. moscow, you have to sort of question what's the military utility here? yes, i think there are attempts to crack the propaganda facade, to remind the russian people that this is a war. there may be an attempt to keep russia's air defenses trained on the capital and away from ukraine itself. but look, as we see the debate around weapons supplies ahead of president zelenskyy's expected visit to the u.s. this week, this is a part of this war that ukraine does not, we understand, rely on western supplies for. they are producing a lot of their own drones. the head of the drone program

saying to cnn just recently that they've increased production 100 times since the start of this year. so this is a way for ukraine to show that it has its own agency in this war. a war that russia is fighting in part to try to essentially delete ukraine as a sovereign nation. i think it's worth viewing these overnight attacks which are happening increasingly frequently in that context. >> clare sebastian reporting in london, thank you so much. the exact number of ukrainian troops killed in the war is not clear, but it's likely staggering. but each one was special to those who loved them. the family who reluctantly saw them off to fight a war they would not survive. cnn's melissa bell has the story. ♪ >> reporter: there's been no shortage of grief in ukraine. today in st. michael's cathedral, it's the turn of yvegen's mother to say good-bye to her 42-year-old son, killed

on a front line he volunteered for. ♪ how many have died neither side will say. for ukraine, the number is believed to be many tens of thousands. today, though, for yvgen's wife karina, her own grief is all there is. saying good-bye too soon is part of everyday life in ukraine now. but never any easier for it. yvgen will rest amongst his own. many like him had never fought before. all died too soon. >> reporter: yvgen had been a speechwriter, a political analyst who put down his pen to pick up a gun, said his wife, so she might live in safety.

>> reporter: everyone here describes a man who was larger than life. now his optimism and life have given way to grief and disbelief that he's gone. >> reporter: the priest has urged those here to forgive yvgen for dying. besides, he says, heroes never really die. and of heroes, in cemeteries across ukraine, there is no shortage either. the u.s. auto workers strike is putting the squeeze on president biden. coming up, we'll explain why the

welcome back to our viewers in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm laila harrak, you're watching "cnn newsroom." no sign of any significant progress on day two of the united auto workers strike against three major u.s. automakers. the two sides appear to remain far apart on wage and benefit

increases, and it's putting u.s. president joe biden in a very difficult position. cnn's priscilla alvarez explains. >> reporter: president joe biden weighed in on the auto workers strike on friday as he faces the biggest labor crisis of his presidency so far. in his remarks, the president provided an explicit endorsement of the auto workers' negotiating position, saying that record profits should equal record contracts. >> i do appreciate that the parties have been working around the clock. when i first called them at the very first day of their negotiation i said, please stay at the table as long as you can to try to work this out. and they've been around the clock, and the companies have made some significant offers. but i believe it should go further so record profits mean record contracts. record corporate profits which they have should be shared by record contracts for uaw. >> reporter: the strike brings attention to president joe biden as he casts himself as the most

pro-union president, but also economic ramifications of this strike extending days or months and the destabilizing risk of an auto manufacturing shutdown. leading up to the strike, the president and white house officials have been closely monitoring negotiations. and on friday, the president announced that he would deploy his senior adviser, gene sperling, and acting secretary julie su as the go-between in these talks. the talks are ongoing, and the president and staff are watching all of it closely and what it might mean for the economy moving forward. the republican party may be united against president joe biden and the democrats, but they're far from united on what to do about donald trump. though the gop did just hand the former president a win in florida, sort of. republicans in that state just scrapped plans to make presidential candidates sign a

so-called loyalty pledge for whoever became the party's nominee. trump had refused to sign a pledge to back candidate that wasn't himself. a loyalty pledge would have helped florida governor ron desantis, so the fact that it's now abandoned is seen as a major defeat for the desantis campaign. but trump may soon suffer a defeat over what he can and can't say even on social media. federal prosecutors are asking for a narrowly tailored gag order on trump, citing his attacks on people working the case and possible witnesses. the order would prevent trump from making statements that could be considered disparaging and inflammatory or intimidating. california is suing five of the world's biggest oil companies over climate change. the state claims they have known since at least the 1960s that burning fossil fuels would warm the planet and change the

climate. but instead says they downplayed the risks and misled the public. the state claims the result was damaging wildfires, unclear air, deadly heat waves, and record-breaking droughts costing california tens of billions of dollars. chevron pushed back saying climate change requires a coordinated international policy response, not piecemeal litigation for the benefits of lawyers and politicians. but california's local courts have no constructive or constitutionally permissible role in crafting global energy policy. texas attorney general ken paxton was acquitted on saturday in his state senate impeachment trial. the hardline conservative and trump ally faced 16 articles of impeachment which stemmed from accusations that he repeatedly abused his office to help a donor. but the acquittal isn't the end of his legal trouble. ed lavandera has the details. >> reporter: ken paxton is

celebrating his victory in his impeachment trial by calling the case that house managers brought to the senate as a sham and a shameful experience. paxton's lawyers say that this vote today is a total vindication of the attorney general, who will now be reinstated into his job. in fact, it was a resounding victory of the 18 voting republican senators, only two crossed the aisle to vote to convict ken paxton. he had an overwhelming support among republicans in the texas senate. and his lawyers say ken paxton is ready to get back to work. >> this is a trial that should have never happened. period, actual stop. the right result happened but it shouldn't have got cnn far. >> we are proud of the case we put on. we should not have had to prove our innocence, but that's what we did. and we believe that the court reached the right verdict. we're very proud of the work we did.

>> reporter: this impeachment vote has erupted what can only be described as an all-out civil war among texas republicans. the republican lieutenant governor, dan patrick, who oversees the senate, after the trial spent several minutes blasting house republicans for voting on these articles of impeachment and bringing these charges to the senate side. on the house side, the speaker of the house, dave feeling, shot back at dan patrick saying that it was clear, based on that speech, that this entire voting process was orchestrated from the very beginning. essentially accusing senators of predetermining their vote before hearing all of the evidence. also going on to say that this process cheated the voters of texas of justice in this case. and also, democrats and some republicans saying that this vote is essentially condoning corruption at the highest levels of texas politics.

>> our lawyers, the board of managers presented overwhelming evidence that ken paxton is the most corrupt politician in the state of texas at this time. and the republicans in the texas senate just returned him to the office of top cop. i'm going to rely on what i said on the floor of the texas house. god help us. >> reporter: ken paxton still has legal trouble he is facing. there is a state securities fraud trial he is facing. he's also under federal investigation stemming from the very issues that came up in this impeachment trial, so all of that is still issues he will have to deal with in the months ahead. ed lavandera, cnn, austin, texas. iranian authorities ramped up security across the country, but that didn't stop demonstrators from marking the anniversary of the death of mahsa amini. the climate crisis is even

♪ protests erupted in several iranian cities saturday commemorating the death of mahsa amini while in the custody of iran's morality police. that despite ramped-up security across the country. a show of force in iran to deter any would-be protesters from marking the one-year anniversary of the death of mahsa amini. it was just a year ago the 22-year-old died while in the custody of iran's morality police after being arrested for allegedly failing to wear her head scarf properly. her death sparked months of unprecedented protests followed by a brutal crackdown by the government in which more than 500 people were killed, according to the human rights

group human rights activist news agency. a year on, there was some daring acts of defiance like this couple chanting "women, life, freedom" in the streets of tehran as drivers honked their horns in support. or these protesters blocking traffic in a kurdish city just a few hours away from amini's hometown. state-affiliated media says security forces were able to quash several protests, and several people referred to as counter revolutionaries and terrorists were arrested. iranian journalists and rights groups say amini's father was also briefly detained. though iran state media denies this and says it prevented an assassination attempt on his life. >> mahsa amini! >> reporter: rallies to show solidarity for the people of iran and commemorate amini's death were held around the world in cities like paris, brussels, london, berlin. many protesters saying they felt

the need to raise their voices when so many in iran cannot. >> even though we are very far away, a few thousand kilometers, we still -- we are still with them with our hearts and with our minds. we are going to keep fighting until the mullahs are gone. italian fire officials say a young girl is dead after a military jet crashed, sending debris flying onto her family's car. it happened in northwest italy near turin on saturday. cnn's barbie nadeau is in rome with the details. >> reporter: a day meant for celebration ended in horrific tragedy after a 5-year-old child was killed when an italian air force jet flying in formation exploded into a fireball and hit the car she was traveling this with her family. the flying debris struck the family car, carrying four people. the 5-year-old girl was killed.

her 9-year-old brother was severely burned. her parents are also being treated for burns. the jet lost altitude shortly after takeoff, flying in formation with the other jets. the air force is speculating it might have hit a flock of birds. the air force have not determined decisively the cause of the crash, but that is the speculation at the moment. the crash happened within the perimeter of the airport, which means the jet fell within the fence of the airport, and the family was driving on a country road on the outside perimeter when the fiery debris struck their car ending in tragedy. the air force says they'll be conducting a full investigation into the matter. electricity is slowly being restored along roads in morocco's atlas mountains as the region begins its long recovery from the devastating september 8th earthquake. crews geared up to try to restore power to villages where earthquake survivors have been

revolutionizing how goods could be transported and further expanded in 2016 to meet the skyrocketing demands of global commerce. but over the last 20 years, decreasing rainfall has reduced the water level of panama's lake katun from 27 meters above sea level to 24 meters. >> translator: call it climate change, whatever you want to call it. the true fact is that precipitation levels are changing. as i have said repeatedly, the panama canal is the only global maritime route that uses fresh water. >> reporter: canal officials have imposed draft restrictions, forcing ships to lighten their load. a draft is the minimum water of water it can safely navigate. if a ship carries too much cargo, it risks getting trapped in the canal. the panama canal authority has also limited the number of vessels authorized to enter the canal each day, creating a

bottleneck with some ships waiting as long as 14 days to get through. as of tuesday, 116 vessels were waiting to pass. the canal's administrator warns the number of authorized vessels could decrease further if the drought continues into next year. >> translator: in the coming months, i think there's the possibility in march and april, if the rain pattern remains the same as now, there would be possible water restrictions. now, before reaching this point, the panama canal would have to make further restrictions on the number of transits. it will depend on the amount of water in the lake, for example. >> reporter: this has led to rising freight costs which are likely to continue in the months leading up to both christmas and the chinese new year. the canal's administrator has said the drought could wipe away $200 million in revenue in 2024. and he says they may need to build a new dam or connect the canal to another nearby lake to
